Some bows seem 'finicky' or highly sensitive to minor variations in form. While others seem to shoot consistent and 'overlook' flaws. What bows have you shot/owned that are highly forgiving? And a follow up - WHY do you think it was forgiving (design, wt, grip, etc)

I have a early 90s BW MA11. I can pick it up after not shooting it for months or a year and 1 or 2 arrows I'm spot on. That bow shoots so good for me.

My Shrew Hill with slight string follow seems to get the arrow where it is supposed to go even when I mess up. It is real forgiving, real quiet and real deadly.

None. All mine are like wild stallions and I must constantly grapple with them and convince them I am the Alpha Male to force them to my will.
Except the Bear Kodiak Hunter. That's a pussycat. I have enough time to walk up and correct arrow flight after release on the way to the target and that makes it a bit more forgiving.

Border Black Douglas. I knew when I'd screwed up but the arrows would just keep going where I wanted them.

A Fazio Ballistik I owned years ago. My form was still weak, but that bow let me get away with all kinds of crap.
Kinda glad I got rid of it at the time, I really had to learn the basics.

RER XR seems to be the most forgiving for me...not sure why, but I think it may be in the forward design and the stable limb design.

60" Abbott Recurve, it has a lower brace than normal for a recurve and has a longbow grip. I'm a longbow guy so in my hands this bow shoots beautifully. I believe it has to do with a very nicely designed limb and reinforcement of the tips. It just tracks and shoots a wide variety of spines and weights equally well.

For me, it's the Dwyer Defiant longbow. Describing why a bow shoots more forgiving than others is a little subjective. I would guess that the most forgiving bows are the longest bows. My bow shoots field tips, broad heads and bare shafts equally well and just feels right when I shoot it.

Compared to other bows I've owned my crooked stic just seems right for me, no explanation just agrees with me, as to where arrow should go, a little better than most that I have bought, sold,and traded.
